ANKARA
(Reuters) - Iran's supreme leader called on Muslim nations to unite
against the United States, saying Tehran would never yield to
"bullying," state television reported on Thursday.
"The
Iranian nation has successfully resisted bullying attempts by America
and other arrogant powers and we will continue to resist... All Muslim
nations should stand united against America and other enemies,"
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said.
Iran's
top authority criticized Trump for saying on Tuesday some countries in
the Middle East "wouldn't last a week" without U.S. protection.
"Such
remarks are humiliation for Muslims ... Unfortunately there is war in
our region between Muslim countries. The backward governments of some
Muslim countries are fighting with other countries," Khamenei said.
Iran
and Saudi Arabia have long been locked in a proxy war, competing for
regional supremacy from Iraq to Syria and Lebanon to Yemen.
